Join on Telegram Fenerbahce will face Rangers at Ulker Stadium in Istanbul and all eyes are on the Moroccan trio as Youssef En-Nesyri and Sofyan Amrabet meet Hamza Igamane in the Europa League last-16 game.
Kick off is at 5:45 p.m. Moroccan time and fans can catch the early European action live on BeIN Sports 3, Canal+ Sport, and M+ Liga de Campeones.
Youssef En-Nesyri has been on fire lately after scoring a whopping 26 goals in 39 appearances. Meanwhile, Amrabat, the midfield general, will look to dominate the middle of the park and pull the strings of the attacking play, offering a vital link between defense and attack.
But the Rangers, under the interim management of Barry Ferguson, are no pushovers. The Scots will pin their hopes on Igamane, the 23-year-old winger with a wealth of pace and physicality, who could wreak havoc against Fenerbahce’s defense. The Moroccan youngster is in prolific goal-scoring form in the Europa League, scoring four goals in six appearances.
Fenerbahce is second in the Turkish Super Lig with four points adrift from arch-rivals Galatasaray. Mourinho’s side barely scraped through the group stage and only just managed to edge past Anderlecht in the play-offs.
Mourinho knows a thing or two about winning silverware in every league he goes to after a glittering career in Europe’s biggest clubs like FC Porto, Chelsea, Real Madrid, Inter Milan, and AS Roma.
The Rangers come into the match after a dismal 2-1 loss to Motherwell, which left them 16 points behind rivals Celtic in the Scottish Premiership.
Despite their league woes, their Europa League campaign has been more successful, with Ferguson and Moroccan assistant coach Issam Charai guiding them to the knockout rounds after finishing eighth in the group stage.
Fenerbahce will be without four key players due to injury and two others suspended, while Rangers are missing Oscar Cortes and Neraysho Kasanwirjo. Despite their injury concerns, both teams are expected to field a strong starting XI, with much of the focus on the Moroccan attacking battle between En-Nesyri and Igamane.
